[New-bugs-announce] [issue13711] html.parser.HTMLParser doesn't parse tags in comments in scripts correctly

[Manuel Bärenz]

New submission from Manuel Bärenz <manuel at enigmage.de>:

I've attached a script which demonstrates the bug.

When feeding a <script> that contains a comment tag with the actual script and the script containing tags itself (e.g. a 'document.write(<td></td>)'), the parser doesn't call handle_comment and handle_starttag.
